MILDAR (Millimeter Wave Radar)

The MILDAR Project spans key radar technologies in millimeter-wave band. Among these technologies, the main ones are target acquisition, tracking and classification, carried out in a Pulse-Doppler mode. In additon to that, there has been a large amount of work being carried out in various system functionalities such as SAR, ISAR and terrain profiling. Eventually, the System is planned to be employed for various mission goals of attack and tactical reconnaissance helicopters.

Prototype MMW Radar

The main features of the Ka-band millimeter wave radar are:

-High range and azimuth resolution
-Multifunctional system:
-Surveillance and multi-target tracking
-Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Mode
-Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) Mode
-Terrain Profiling Mode
-Detection of stationary and moving land & air targets
-Target classification

Mildar will be one of the critical sensor of T-129 Atak helicopter to detect Moving land and Air targets to classify before engagement...

How will the finish radar look like? Like the Longbow?

How will the finish radar look like? Like the Longbow?

Actually, It looks like that; but Most probably, Prototype Mildar will be tested on a rectangle shape...

If the Radar rotates, has this no effect on flying behavior?

I don't suppose because most probably a cylindric composite assembly will cover the antenne and radar will rotate in there...
